Tempting. Can we shuck this model?
also what is inside ?
presumably a hard drive
That's so crazy it might just work.
very good price but these type of external hard drive take up so much space + 1 power point + more cables.
I am leaning toward the more portable 2.5" model.
or if I am rich, will go for an external SSD drive.
i got the 4tb portable WD one around Xmas, it was $199 less 20% $159. they seemed to have increase it to $209, but still would go for portable

usually you take the externals and put them in your internals
aahhhhh…….
Good thinking!
and I will get a SATA Caddy bay instead.
that could work.
once inside a pc they use sata bus not usb bus ….. sata bus is much faster , usb bus is memory transfers are done by cpu so sata transfers free up cpu compared to usb 3.
depends what you use your drives for , eg backups, storage expansion for games etc.
especially if for laptop use, or xbox storage expansion storage.
i think the hope is that they are wd red inside which is a nas 24x7 duty cycle drive, and they could be shucked for use inside a pc off the data connectors or into a nas, the 2.5” drives are targeted at less arduous duty cycle. though more appealing for back ups as you can put in a safe place incase pc stolen or house fire.
right produced description? three times it says "1 TB"
